You can start with a normal Cocoa app template, add AppleScriptObjC.framework, modify main.m so that -loadAppleScriptObjectiveCScripts is called before main returns, then add and connect a suitable AS app delegate class. The only Xcode support is that it compiles .applescript files and treats appropriate handlers and properties as IBActions and IBOutlets.

Paul,
David Sternberg (from Apple) posted a video that showed the creation of a Cocoa application on the fly with JSA.
There is a video that can be downloaded from 2014 Developers Conference.
I might have the video and the script somewhere.
If I find I will send it to you off the list
